What could have been
Talk about spanning the entire spectrum. In this one trade alone we go from the highly anticipated and emotionally charged reunion between two renowned comic characters infamously linked forever, to a group of incredibly lame and inane sci-fi villains not worthy of a second glance. No wonder this title lost its' readership and subsequently its' very existence. It's all over the map, recklessly bounding from one fancy to another, noticeably lacking any consistent and coherent sense of direction. Perhaps even the inclusion of the Joker was due primarily to the series' imminent demise and not the realization of the potential affording itself, especially if they had taken the opportunity and really ran with it, which sadly and shamefully they didn't. Of course what course and tone the book could have and should have employed is now a moot point, but silly sci-fi was certainly not one of them. Part of the problem could stem from the inclusion of team members with metahuman powers themselves, like Infinity and Misfit, plus the debatable decision to relocate the Birds out of Gotham and into Platinum Flats, with the specific intent of having them battle totally unconventional types of adversaries. Ultimately though, the heart of the group is non-powered individuals, which should naturally equate to confronting comparable characters. The Joker definitely qualifies and his and Barbara's much awaited rematch was deserving of center stage all by itself, with the rest of the ridiculous riff raff rightfully left by the wayside, but regrettably this was not the case. As evidenced by this trade, this title treaded some considerable water as it headed fatefully towards its' unfortunate conclusion. Maybe the time is right for these Birds to take flight and explore completely different avenues, with Barbara Gordon justly warranting top consideration. ... Read more
